Skyreach

Background

Atop the crowning pinnacle of the Spires of Arak, amidst the clouds, Skyreach stands as the seat of power of the Adherents of Rukhmar. The arakkoa have gathered and harnessed the Apexis technology of their forebears, and now they are ready to unleash the focused power of the sun upon their enemies.

Bosses

Ranjit

Ranjit has spent a lifetime honing his skill with the bladed chakram, and found that as his mastery of the traditional arakkoa weapon grew, he could shape the wind itself and wield it against his enemies. He now guards access to the inner sanctum of Skyreach, willing to die to protect the seat of arakkoa power atop the Spires.

Key abilities

Ranjit has mastered the use of his chakrams to create dizzying arrays of zone damage. Players will need to stay on the move to avoid taking unnecessary damage from these zones.

What to think about depending on your role

Ranjit hurls his chakrams in various patterns to create damaging zones that move or rotate.

[Piercing Rush] inflicts significant damage on all targets that Ranjit passes through as he charges forward in a straight line.

Araknath

The high arakkoa of Skyreach closely observed the civilization of the draenei, taking a keen interest in the towering Vigilants that guard their cities and temples. The arakkoa set out to create their own superior version, powered by solar energy - an unwaveringly obedient engine of destruction.

Key abilities

Araknath stands in the center of a massive solarium, positioned to receive solar energy in the form of channeled beams that will heal Araknath if allowed to reach him.

High Sage Viryx

High Sage Viryx has dedicated her rule wholly to harnessing Apexis artifacts in service of Rukhmar's will. At last, thanks to the completion of the massive crystal superweapon that focuses the sun's energy to destroy their enemies, it is time for the arakkoa to claim their rightful place as rulers of Draenor.

Key abilities

High Sage Viryx calls down the powerful arakkoa focusing lens to scorch the ground beneath his foes, as Shield Constructs enter to protect their master.
